YAK KKE MISERS IN' CHINA
GO t,d MU7E3 IN THE FLOWERY
KINGDOM TO 3E REOPENED.
Bow the Eagle Will Kelp the Dragon-
A Party of American Mining Experts
Leave San Francisco for t’ne Celestial
Empire to Work Rich Mineral Fields
in the Province of Shan Tung.
From thf .Veto York Herald.
v^ VN - Fs\-.'CISCO. Cal., Oct 5. —While
tv'cplo ana wonderin'; what to make of the
new Arabian Nights’ Entertainment by
Counl von Mitkiewiez, a little expedition is
departing from this port which may effect
more for the Americanization of China than
the day-dreams of all the Counts that have
ever lieeu counted. Among the passengers
who sailed last month, in tho City of Pekin
for Yokohama were Mr. A. M. Ellsworth,
a milling man of experience; Arthur E.
Roberts, assayer; Frank J. Niel. machinist;
Mark J. Lidstone, millman; Niel Diven,
mining foreman; and Charles Taylor, pros
pector. All these are in the service of the
government of China, engaged under spe
cial contract to reopen and work the gold
and silver mines in the Providence of Shan
Tung.
'i'o understand the new departure it is
necessary to go back n long way. Gold and
silver mining was at one time a flourishing
industry in China. There is reason to be
lieve that the Chinese used gold coins at a
ueriod anterior to the date of those Greek
and Parthian specimens which form the de
light of numerisrnatists They- are said to
have been cubes witho -t inscriptions. How
ever this may be, the art ot mining died out.
Tliis was due to several causes. In mining,
as in other mechanical pursuits, the Chi
nese reached a certain distance, and no fur
ther. They learned how to mine ore and
to separate mineral from rock, but they
never discovered how to pump water out
or pure air into underground workings.
Hence in ail their mines there came a time
when foul gases and water drove out the
miners. .
Still more fatal to the mining industry
■was the superstition of the Feng Shin.
The Feng Shin were underground demons
who were quiet and well behaved enough
so long as they were unmolested in their
subterreaneaii abode, but became trouble
some and malignant if their rest were dis
turbed. It was discovered that epidemics
and famines followed the workings of cer
tain mines, and it was demonstrated with
out difficulty that the visitations were due
to the justly irritated Feng -'bin.
The controversy lasted som-> years, as sick
things do in China. But it ended in ;he
issue of an imperial rescript absolutely >ro
li > ing the prosecution o* drifc-iniling
iilc penalty of death. This edict is sup
posed to have been issued about a ceitury
before the du> sever rof America by CMum
bus. It has never been strictly enDrced.
Mining has always been prosecuted ti some
extent in Shan Hi Yunnan and Hontn. On
the Yang-tse Kiang and its conttnsnts, in
the streams of Sze Chuen, and thuughout
Mantehooria, gravel-mining ha- always
been followed as a business by a p>rt;on of
the people. Allusions to the miwra out
put of the emp re are scatter* through
the works of Puinpelly, Dav is, Do Came,
and others. More recent witers, such
as Williams and Von Richthofen,
mention the fact that the pjecious met
als are produced without entwing into de
tails.
Still, the disappearance of told and the
absence of a gold currency Row that the
edict, though not strictly carried out, had
the desired effect of putthga stop to min
ing as a regular industry It is only within
a few years that the Oinese government
resolved to reverse its policy ill this re
spect The financial stuns in which the
empire found itself during the French
war satisfied its leafing men that China
could not hold its owiin the family of na
tions unless it providl itself with a gold
currency. It was isolved to reopen tue
mines.
Goid, like coal, isJound i every one of
the nineteen proving of China. But the
largest and most aressible source of supply
is to be found in t> range of hills which
divides the Loess fairie of North Central
China from the oofli slopes. Those hills
can I* traced fronthe shore of the Gulf of
I’ectuli, in the Prrinceof Blmn Tung,down
intoQuangTung.lt is quite likely that
they are mineral taring throughout. Mr.
Ellsworth to id t'- Herald correspondent
that Americans clld form no idea of the
quantity of gold i China: there was far
more there than h e.
In former daysvhen the Chinese mines
Were worked, o> of the most active
mineral fields iayiack of Che Foo, in the
Province of Bln Tung. When Li
Hung Chang andfrince Rung resolved in
ISB4 to resume tJ working of the mines
they selected tbivtot to commence onera-
lions.
The Viceroy ipliod to his friend, Sir
Robert Hart, fo competent miner to di
rect the works, fir Robert had a friend
named Beecher, to was supposed to be a
competent mintpecau.se he had relatives
who had investemoney in Australia. On
Hart’s rccomofdation he was engaged.
He seems to ha; known enough about his
business to ord/a twenty-stamp mill from
this city, but lii't know enougU to -set it
up. For thatfb Ellsworth was dispatched
to Uriua froiime Union Iron Works. He
is a quiet, taiini, business-like man, and
just took tq Chinese fancy. They dis
charged Boner and. put Ellsworth in his
place. He iprrned them that if he was to
run tiieCbefo mines he must have Ameri
can machiiiy and American assistants.
They gave pi carte blanche, and thus, as l
said, he H sailed from San Francisco
with a iff of live assistants and
a completeftfit of steam engines, hoist
ing mat-nary, pumps, air-compressors,
drills, cagJrailroad track, and tools of all
kinds. j
The mi if which Ellsworth is going to ex
ploit lie sp 140 miles inland from Cho
Foo, abojoo milt's from Shanghai, and
perhaps miles from Tientsin. The for
mation is e same as in the Sierra in this
State. 1 ore is found in the quartz. It
turns oul tout $2O worth of bullion to the
ton. In i ore are streaks of sulphurets
which \v run $l5O and $2OO to the ton. But,
in China 0 ore if there is plenty of it. and
it can be si’y hoisted ami taken to the
mill, is a ood a tiling as any mail need
'Sant. 1 ere are mines on the Comstock
which ar landling $lO ore without loss,
with mir s’ wages fixed at $4 a day by the
cast-iron lets of the Miners’ Uliiou. Labor
in China]worth not over 15c. a day and
tile minJare not as particular about the
length ope shifts as they are on Mount
DavidsoJ
In Chf the fee of all real estate is in the
govennpt. Chinamen hold their land and
houses llvirtue of receipts from the goy
enimeiiJspecifying that they have paid
their tap. Tims no legal process was ne
cessary] establish the government title to
the Clmoo mines. When it was resolved
to worjhem Mr. Owyang Ming, a distin-
Buisheclhinaman whose ancestors hail been
in the Ihlie service before the Christian
era, wJrecalled from the Consulate Gen
ei alshlof Han Francisco and was placed in
chargj It is probably to bis American ox
perienj that the engagement of Mr. Ells
wortbiid party is cue.
It isretty difficult to sot a limit to the
possil/ consequences of a general resump
tion Jgold-nnning in China. Unless Mr.
Elisd'th is much mistaken China Is richer
hi gd than any other country known.
Thcpople have been washing gravel for
gold nr fifty centuries or more, but the
veins (re comparatively virgin. And
jjeverdd nation need gold so badly as China
dees Uv, to pay for her fleet, her fort.i
ikatiik her railroads and telegraphs, and
‘he (ior improvements which she must'
have]
It ytiid seom, however, that if the Chi
nese lines are to be worked they must be
worljd by foreigners. For manual labor
mtlomnes Chinamen will answer very
"eL Bit it will bo u long time before a
Chinaman is found who is competent to
manage a mine. And of all foreigners the
most suitable are Americans. No Euro
peans have the experience necessary to en
able them to deal with ores like those of Che
Foo. The most competent of the Euro
pean miners ave the Freiberg graduates, but
in practice outlie Comstock they have not
been found worth more than Cornish shift
bosses. Our great mines are all handled bj r
Americans, or by persons who, though born
abroad, have lived so long here as to bo
really Americans. It would probably bo so
with*the mines of China.
If a few score mines in tho foothills of
Shantung, Kiang Su, Che Kiang. and Fo
Kien should begin to output $40,000,000 or
$50,000,000 of gold and silver per year
through American management and with tho
aid of American machinery the event could
not but lie followed by important commer
cial and political consequences.
ON MONT BLANC.
An Interesting Account of the Three
Days Sojourn of Two French Scien
tists.
From the Washington Star.
The scientific world wiil be interested in
the forthcoming facts with regard to his
three days’sojourn on the summit of Mont
Blanc, which M. Joseph Vallot, will lay be
fore the French Academy as soon as he hits
arranged his documents. Meanwhile the
greater public will read with interest of the
details of the perilous undertaking of M.
Vallot and M. F. M. Richard, two French
men who have pitched their tents en the
fearful heights in order to make scientific
experiments. M. Vallot. is one of the best
known members of the French Alpine Club,
whose observations on tho Pyrenees glaciers
and on certain Alpine peaks have been of
great value. For the purpose of making
further observations he attempted to erect
three temporary meteorogical stations on
Mont Blanc, the first of which was situated
at Chamounix, the second at the Rochers
des Grands -Mulcts, and the third on the top
of the mountain. M. Richard, who accom
panied him, is a constructor of scientific in
struments. Twenty-four guides had been
retained to carry the necessary luggage, of
which no man is to carry more than
twenty pounds. Early at 5 o’clock the ex
pedition started, but owing to difficulties
about the luggage they did not arrive at tho
Grand Mulets till 10 o’clock at night, wnich,
as a rule, is reached early in the afternoon.
No special incident marked the first day's
journev, and at 11 o’clock all lay asleep in
the little hut which serves as a shelter to
mountain ! limbers. At 3a. m. the caravan
started once more, th.s tuns on the most
difficult part of the road. The asciit was
made very gradually and caretul y; one
guide became indisposed, ami both AIM.
Vallot and Richard were suffering from an
attack of mountain sickness. When they
reached the summit ut last, at 2:30 p. ill.,
both travelers sat down on the snow, utterly
worn out. The guides threw down their
burdens and began to descend at once, and
only two of the number remained with the
scientists. They pitched the tent, lighted the
petroleum lamp, and prepared the dinner,
after which M. Vallot, who had regained
his strength, went out and placed his appa
ratus on the plateau in the biting cold. At
4 a. in. the energetic Frenchman was about
again, calling his companions to view the
sunrise. M. Richard, however, as well as
the two guides, looked at the magnificent
spectacle with mixed feelings, their state of
health and comfort be.ng by no means per
fect. After all the instruments were placed
and several observations taken, a visitor, an
Englishman, appeared on the peak, and
speedily turned back Chamounix-ward.
The second night was passed more comfort
ably in heavy coats, liner, masks and fur
linen snow-boots, the temperature still re
maining extremely low. The following day
was sjient in experimenting, but so great be
came the weariness and weakness of the
whole party that they couid only swallow a
few spoonfuls of coffee or soup. At six next
morning another Englishman arrived with
letters from Chamounix. At 2p. m. a ter
rible storm broke out over the peak,
threatening every moment to carry away
the tent. M. Vallot, on leaving the tent,
noticed a curious phenomenon around him,
he was in the midst of electric clouds, and
all his clothes trembled with electricity.
When the third day began to dawn the sky
became clear; the last experiments’ were
made, and the descent began, proving, after
the storm, which had effaced all traces of a
path, far more formidable than the ascent.
At last, however, at 7 p. m., Chamounix
was reached, and the whole population of
the town, headed by the Mure, received
the successful climbers with-gifts of flow
ers and congratulations at having been
the first to accomplish so dangerous an ex
pedition.
